the murals are, of course the big magnet and the lines, cassandra is not in any way distracting from the fact there are a lot of people. how this can be managed, just like the tower of pisa, sent just about a kiosk in a parking lot. it's really a management problem. there is no question in my mind if there is to be a kiosk, the disruption it will cause on eastside is very impact. we see people -- those of white us who park up there, you see such confusion now. there is no signage to help people know where to park, where to be and where to work and i know public works is going to address it, but i implore you to take the time to really think this through, and this is not a negative influence at all on cassandra or the department. i think there should be traffic studies and i could go on, but you all know and apply your wisdom, because this is unique. in my mind it's unprecedented. there has never, ever been something like this and i think the ticket lines will be substantial. i think the population that lives there is always impacted. we know that. but to add to it in this way really,

primarily two reasons as people mentioned the safety reason and cassandra explained crossing it, but it's a large parking lot and traffic is horrible. you have people waiting 20, 30, 40 minutes, waiting to park in coit tower. and road-rage right now is an issue and as people are crossing the parking lot in weird positions, there is going to be a confrontation or accident at some point. also, i have a window that looks directly at where the proposed kiosk is, 100 feet. there are some bushs in the way, but i would be look at that every day. it's a very seclude area and we had a problem with transients in past because it's quiet over there and setting up camp. i think at night, there is going to be issue -- there is already tons of noise and people partying and talking and doing other things at night. i think people will be behind there doing god knows what. that could be helped a little bit with lights, but then i will have lights shining in my bedroom every night, which is not really a lot of fun. what else? also, i think having the location for a place for selling tickets so far away

so the idea was to try and improve on the situation and through many meetings and i want to thank cassandra, because i probably create ed more problems than i solved in this matter to let the community weigh in on the best solution. the preponderant number of comments that we got and people that we talked to wanted to see ticketing and limited foodservice away from the tower itself. and so we looked -- we didn't look, but it was proposed to us, east and west. i appreciate all of the neighbors showing up. i think that is very informative for us to come to conclusion, but the genesis of the debate before us, it would have been easy to approve the temporary food cart and see it hauled in and out and the related problems connected to it, but at the request of the community we didn't do that. so with that, commissioner levitan. >> when an item come before us at the commission, it's our job to be objective and not have an opinion going into that item. and so really weigh the public's concerns, the demands of the department, what is best for the city? so with this, i really kept a completely open

this sounds exciting to us. >> good luck with cassandra. we'll be keeping up with her indeed. >> it is the defense's turn in the trial of forma recent accused of of kill american sniper chris kyle and his friend. eddie ray routh is mounting mounting an insanity defense much defense call his mother to the stand. she told the court that her son was suicidal and had been treated for post trauma stress in 2011. the trial has drawn intense interest. >> philadelphia native ashton carter is now getting to work as the nation's new secretary of defense. vice-president joe biden administered the oath of office to carter in the white house today. carter replaces chuck hagel. as the president' fourth defense second in six years he faces the task of steering the military as the united states battles isis. >> i am honored to row join the men and women of the defense depth in what is the highest calling which is the defense of our country. >> ashton carter met with the president in the oval office following his swearing in. he was a former penn gone offic

. >> reporter: cassandra was visiting her boyfriend.from chelsea and has her own shoveled out spot. there were no markers here saving the space. >> i know how long it takes to shovel a spot like that. so i definitely wouldn't park where it was saved for someone. >> reporter: space savers are a tradition on boston streets, and on friday, the rules were changed regarding space savers. >> because of what we've had, eight feet of snow over the course of the last three and a half weeks, we've stopped that policy for a little bit. >> reporter: for cassandra, she says with the nearby security cameras, police are hopeful they will acatch the vandal fkts but she also says she believes in what higher power. >> karma's going to get them. i don't have to do anything. i feel bad for them more or less because, you know bad things happen to bad people. >> well to add insult to injury the woman was also fired when she called her job to say she was going to be late because of that incident. >>> is an unrelenting blast of cold air making the united state

when cassandra told me it's going to at least take a year after the board of supervisors approves it, you know? so i think we need to get moving on this issue and i hope the commission will take action when it comes before. and the other issue is about, you know, coit tower has always had so much controversy from before it was built, the murals, and now the drones up there. and you know, to me coit tower is really special. i live near golden gate park and i'm used to having sections of the park closed for the outside lands and the races through the park. but coit tower is really special. i just read a quote saying, "coit tower is probably most wonderful museum in san francisco." and i don't think it should be closed for commercial use, and i just hope that maybe the commission can ask the staff to have a report on this, and we can see that this doesn't happen again. because coit tower is really a very special place, and it should be open as much as possible. thank you. >> thank you. >> before we go to the next speaker, we do need everyone to take a seat, please. there are plenty of se
